MARRIAGE….

such an amazing concept created by the CREATOR. i am so thankful for it. i am so thankful for my husband. did i think, after 2 months of graduating high school that i would be engaged to micah johnson? NOPE. before he came into my life i was planning on leaving town and pursuing theater. NO ONE was going to hold me down. God had a different plan for my life. after years of pushing micah out of the picture, he always seemed to come right back to me. waiting patiently. i hated him so much, i loved him. i could not resist him any longer- and as you see, the rest is history.  much has changed since then. we have been married for a year now, living in the craziest little apartment, and surviving on love. i know that years from now, when we will look back this part of our life, we’ll smile and somehow wish for it all again.

is marriage hard? i say yes. meshing together two lives  is not a piece of cake.  there will be differences, disagreements, arguments, and so on and so forth. i do know this much: i would rather spend my life with the one i have committed it to than being alone. anything i’m going through, he’s by my side, going through it too. in sickness and in health, till death parts us, i will LOVE my crazy, outspoken, strong willed, precious micah johnson.

the little things in LIFE February 9, 2010

i honestly thought i would be the last person to ever start a blog. my life is seriously not all that exciting. i  thought that maybe if i start to blog about the little things in life, people might be interested. people always say, “it’s the little things in life that count”, so hopefully you feel the same way. to start off my blog, i’ll tell you about one of the LITTLE things that meant the world to my heart.

Today, i was at my sister’s house doing laundry (yes, we have no washer or drier ) and hanging out with my little nephew of 4. when i had finished getting the last load done, i went to say goodbye to the little guy. i found him in the backyard running around and swinging on the swing set. it was the perfect picture of the innocence of a child. i yelled to him “hey noah j! auntie’s leaving!!! i love you!!” the 1st words out of his mouth were “auntie, one more game!!!! don’t leave without one more game!” how could i resist? so we played icebreaker a couple of times and then he let me leave. before i walked out the door he asked me “are you gonna come over tomorrow?”

what’s the BIG deal about this story you ask? noah j means the world to me. i know that one day he is going to grow up and he won’t want to play ice breaker, uno moo, hide and seek, monster trucks, and hungry hippo’s with me. one day when he’s 16 i’ll get to remind of all the times he made my days. of how he used to give me a pucker kiss, and let me read Green Eggs and Ham to him. this is the little thing in my life that means so much to me.
